| Text | At the end of the 1854 season, there were evidently only three organized Manhattan clubs, and they had only played seven match games all year. Most games were intrmural contests. In the first two months of the 1855 season, ten other clubs were at play, including four in Brooklyn and four in New Jersey. By the end of 1855, 22 clubs were on the field, and 82 games had been reported. Things would never be the same again. |
| Sources | See Larry McCray, "Recent Ideas about the Spread of Base Ball after 1854" (draft), October 2012. Data on reported 1855 games and clubs is taken from the Protoball Games Tabulation, version 1.0, compiled by Craig Waff. |
| Warning | |
| Comment | It remains possible that the increase was, in part, a reporting effect, as game reports were more frequently seen as a service to newspaper readers in these years. Edit with form to add a comment |
